TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 4.6 million Scorpio Tankers shares held short by investors – that's known as Scorpio Tankers's "short interest". This figure is 16.7% down from 5.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Scorpio Tankers shares can be evaluated.
Scorpio Tankers's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Scorpio Tankers shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Scorpio Tankers shares traded daily (recently around 1.9 million). Scorpio Tankers's SIR currently stands at 2.38. In other words for every 100,000 Scorpio Tankers shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2380 shares are currently held short.
However Scorpio Tankers's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Scorpio Tankers shares, or, against the total number of tradable Scorpio Tankers shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Scorpio Tankers's short interest could be expressed as 0.08% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Scorpio Tankers shares in existence, roughly 80 shares are currently held short) or 0.0838% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Scorpio Tankers shares, roughly 84 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Scorpio Tankers.

Dividend payout ratio: 19.61% of net profits
Recently Scorpio Tankers has paid out, on average, around 19.61% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.55% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Scorpio Tankers shareholders could enjoy a 2.55% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Scorpio Tankers's case, that would currently equate to about $0.4 per share.
While Scorpio Tankers's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Scorpio Tankers is investing more in its future growth.
Scorpio Tankers's most recent dividend payout was on 15 March 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 March 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Scorpio Tankers's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 18 January 2019. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Scorpio Tankers shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Scorpio Tankers shares which in turn could have impacted Scorpio Tankers's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Scorpio Tankers's shares have ranged in value from as little as $8.2066 up to $27.5896. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Scorpio Tankers's is 1.0507. This would suggest that Scorpio Tankers's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
